We liked everything! The Rispoli Family team are amazing people. The Rispoli Family made our stay a delight and their help in understanding travel, people, surrounds, treks and tricks was outstanding and always over and above what was needed. This stay at the Hotel Pellegrino was the best experience we have ever had at a hotel. The superb breakfast which was 5 star, the dinners which were exceptional and the wines that are luscious helped. Try the Merlot on the wine list for starters. The room we stayed in was perfect, with sea views and an incredible bathroom and balcony. Praiano was the right place to stay and the Hotel Pellegrino was the right hotel to stay in to understand and travel the area. Much quieter in Praiano which was great.

Nothing.

Truely Amazing on every level If you have stumbled across this hotel in your search for an Amafie escape and are reading this review.. our advise is to Book it now.. you will kick yourself for missing out. From the moment we arrived, everything about this hotel was perfect. The family feel makes you feel welcomed, so personal and full of warmth we knew we were in for a fabulous week. How right we were OMG.. By far this is the best Hotel we have ever had the privilege to visit. Luigi and the entire family deliver a style of service that goes far beyond the meaning of the word.. they put there heart and soul into ensuing your every need is catered for and honestly, nothing is too much trouble.. Alessia your recommendations, advice, care and attention, your ‘what’s app’ hints and tips were invaluable.. Daniela, you are an amazing chef, your menus are off the scale delicious! and although we tried other restaurants in the area nothing compared to your flavours and creations. Your use of fresh ingredients and artistry of your food is 5 star. But even that’s not enough, you also went over and above catering for my wife’s dietary needs while ensuring her experience was equal to my own. Luigi What can I say.. you have a beautiful hotel, a beautiful family and you have a great sense of style! Also thank you for the rides to and from the local villages and restaurants.. we are so appreciative I truly could go on and on about our stay, the room, the decor, the finishes, the little touches, cleanliness, the food, the views, the location, the personal chauffeuring (so many drop offs and pickups simply stating that taxi’s were too expensive) and oh how right they were. We were genuinely sad to say good by! Till next time..

The views - the amazing view of the water and the stunning wall of flowers covering the hotel, the view at sunset at the dining terrace, the foods - deliciously and professionally cooked and carefully presented; the food portions were very generous; the detailed explanations and recommendations to various places to visit; the pickups from various spots which saved us walking, and finally the genuinely warm hospitality provided by Luigi and his family - it was a wonderful 2 nights

It would have been useful to have something and somewhere to lay out my handwashing - but then I was too stingy to pay for laundry service

I have stayed in a lot of hotels, but this was by far the most enjoyable. First, the decor is unique and breathtakingly beautiful. And the view? Unbelievable. Luigi and his family treats you like their own. It’s so nice that he drives you to nearby beaches. And his daughter is an incredibly talented professionally trained chef! The dinner we had there was the best we had in all of Italy. Show up to breakfast HUNGRY because it is high quality and lots of it. The other daughter at the front desk goes way above and beyond to help you plan where to go and how to get there. She even woke up at 2am to send us off! The location is wonderful. Far from tourist traps, yet right in the middle of everything. We’ll be back for sure! Our three teens loved it, too, and teens can be a tough crowd

Our room didn’t have a coffee machine, but our kids’ did, so it was ok!

Had we known our stay would have been so great, and the family that runs it so amazing, we would have stayed here for our entire stay on the Amalfi Coast (and maybe stayed in the Amalfi Coast for a little longer). We were driven to dinner in Praiano, and to and from Positano whenever we needed. From Positano, Capri, Sorrento, and Amalfi were all easily accessible by ferry. All were easy to get to from this hotel, and it was a fraction of the cost of those comparable in Positano. Speaking of dinner, eat at least one night at the hotel. The view is breathtaking, and the food is better than many of the local restaurants. The breakfast was also the best we had in our 2+ weeks in Italy. Lastly, the front desk took care of absolutely everything we needed and provided comprehensive information on everything we were considering doing. Path of the gods hike, trip to Amalfi, etc (thank you Federico!) I will recommend this hotel to any of my friends and clients planning a trip to the Amalfi Coast, over any other place we stayed on our honeymoon (there were five), and I hope to return soon. Thank you, Luigi and family!

Only that we didn’t stay longer.

The staff, who is all family, have literally mastered the art of hospitality. They are the sweetest, friendliest people who make you feel as if you’re the only person in the world and their top priority. They ALWAYS have smiles on their faces and upbeat, positive energy. I could go on and on. The food is next level, the rooms are each individually decorated and all are adorable and exactly what you want to wake up to feeling like you’re in Italy, the view is phenomenal, and amenities are amazing (we literally lacked for nothing). They provide a shuttle service which we used daily and greatly appreciated, and even helped us with options for excursions and making last minute dinner reservations. We booked the hotel blindly, never having been to the area or having any recommendations to work with. And…We COULD NOT HAVE HAD A BETTER EXPERIENCE. Hotel Pellegrino is an absolute gem.

Absolutely NOTHING could have been better.

We had the most amazing stay at Hotel Pellegrino. It was without doubt one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had. Luigi and his family catered to our every need. The breakfast was beyond wonderful and we loved the dining experience so much that we ate there most evenings enjoying Genaro’s personal attention. Ales was so kind and even arranged a picnic breakfast for us to take on our 3:30 AM departure! Federico, the concierge, was excellent before and throughout the trip, arranging hair appointments and helping us navigate the Amalfi coast .. nothing was too much trouble. The hotel provides a free shuttle service to beaches, town and into Positano which was invaluable, as the area can be tricky to get around. We hated to leave and look forward to returning one day!

My favorite Italian destination - from the warmth of the family-run hotel. Luigi's family and staff go out of their way to accommodate and take care of guests: Very professional. Always bearing a gentle smile. Most considerate and kind. The hotel feels so clean and new. The shower pressure, the air conditioning, all work to perfection. There is also a lift for those who may need it. The incredibly generous portions and variety of breakfast is something I shall miss, for one. The fresh figs from the trees and neighbouring goats, for two. I had just left their hotel, and checked into a five star hotel in Naples, and I so miss the family's hospitality already! It felt like a special treat away from home, on the Amalfi Coast. Highly recommend as a well-run, sophisticated and top-class holiday destination. They have a complimentary shuttle that takes guests to and fro Praiano's town centre, or to the Marina di Praia for beach lovers where there are a few cute restaurants on the waterfront/ exciting water taxi rides; and also a drop-off point to walk down into the famous and stunning Positano town. I was able to visit Capri, Ravello, Amalfi, Positano and Praiano's town activities from the recommendations of Federico and Alexia, of which, the experiences I would treasure for a long long time. Do try the restaurant upstairs too, I loved all the fish dishes. Last, but not least, there was a concert at sunrise this morning, and Alexia did not hesitate to drive me at 5.50a.m to attend! At the beginning of August, there seems to have many town activities in particular. The luminaria was another interesting event to watch, lighting up the Praiano town centre and the church of San Genaro.

The staff truly went above and beyond. They were warm, welcoming, and always available to assist with any requests. From checking in to arranging transportation, their attention to detail was impressive. They made me feel like a valued guest rather than just another number. What truly set this hotel apart was their extensive knowledge of the area. Their fantastic recommendations for local restaurants, hidden beaches, and guided tours showcased the best of Praiano and the Amalfi Coast. Each suggestion was spot on, allowing me to experience the culture and beauty of the region authentically.

I cannot stop raving about Hotel Pellegrino! All the amazing reviews are legitimate. Luigi and his family made our stay in the amalfi coast an unforgettable experience. We felt at home from the jump. We were even given a complimentary room upgrade at our arrival! The hotel is regularly updated to offer modern functionalities, while still maintaining the timeless elegant aesthetic of the amalfi coast. Our room and bathroom had the perfect décor and were VERY clean. They offer a complimentary shuttle service to Positano which is a HUGE benefit. It’s only about a 5 minute drive. The hotel staff was incredibly prompt, responding to any of our needs via text message in a matter of seconds. They were able to organize transportation and reservations for activities at a moments notice. We will definitely be back!!
